Abstract

Cervical ectopic pregnancy is defined as the implantation of an ectopic pregnancy in the cervix. The actual incidence is < 1%. Though rare, it requires a strong degree of clinical suspicion combined with ultrasound evidence to arrive at the diagnosis. The management of a cervical ectopic includes medical and surgical options. Medical options include using durgs like methotrexate and etoposide. Surgical options primarily include curettage and tamponade. Hemorrhage is a dreaded complication of a cervical ectopic and a torrential haemorrhage warrants an emergency hysterectomy.
